Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

This has been a great experience so far. Day to day my role involves completing workpapers, interacting with clients and regular catch ups with team members which is really helpful for understanding and learning.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I thoroughly enjoy this programme so far, the people I speak to everyday are all so lovely and helpful and welcoming which definitely makes it easier to fit in as a new apprentice. This programme has allowed me to challenge myself and learn new things every single day.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I have received so much support from my employer, there are teams of people to help with every problem and everyone is very responsive when an issue may arise.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

There are tutors, videos, PowerPoints all available whenever needed. Teachers are also very helpful and still provide support once the studying period is over.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

It provides a suitable base knowledge so that while working you are not completely in the dark and overwhelmed by all the terminology used day to day.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

4/5

There are many activities to get involved with. There are socials often and loads of societies that people can join, anyone can join any of these and there is plenty of information provided about each one. There are also teams you can join such as recruitment meaning you can help out at events etc.
